...This is promising news; let’s hope that some of the money goes to the front line Village of Yeghvart where I have returned from. We owe it to the young men of the village and ALL THE families who gave their lives to the border war with Azerbaijan in the early nineties when the villagers were fighting to keep their families safe and the land, ARMENIAN! The qughabed, [village Mayor] has written to the Government and waits for monetary relief, planned for the duration of his term in office. The village is in desperate need of amenities, with no infrastructure, they are desperate for water to be supplied. At this time the drinking water is collected from a spring in containers then carried to their homes…this spring water runs inches from cattle free to drink from it, to quench their thirst in the baking sun during the day. The fight for independence has left the people tired, no wonder then that they look for some outside aid to inject the villagers with renewed hope and much needed basic human needs, ‘WATER.’
